Ds terrified of tub

How is he if you offer to take a bath WITH him?

I tried, DP tried, I think I have tried everything to make it fun.  He went in the shower last night with DP and it wasn't as bad as the bath but he still cried and latched on to DP for dear life.  I have a feeling it is just for the simple fact that he does not want to, not that he is scared of anything

have you tried getting a baby swimming pool but putting in the bathroom?  i know that's really weird but what about getting in the pool and letting him first keep diaper on and then stripping him after he gets in.  let him play while you wash him.

I had bought a big blow ducky and tried that, didn't work, and then yesterday i had taken it outside and tried it but he wouldn't get in, he kept taking the face cloth and dumping water on his head and put his face in the water to blow bubbles, so it was once again like a sponge bath.  he for surely loves water but will not get in.  I am going to buy a pool for outside, a bigger one, and go from there now.
Thank you for all the advice.
